Serious Stuff
There are 2 or 3 atheists at Guion that I know of. One of them once said that he had been told that he was going to Hell far more times than he had been told that Jesus loved him. I once saw this same person being asked about his beliefs. Once he had responded, the people who had asked him attempted to convert him by cussing at him, threatening to jump him, and spitting at him.
This person claims that he was once a Christian, but that he “realized the truth” after finding several “lies” in the Bible. The ones who questioned him and tried to “convert” him are one of the reasons that he despises all religions. I tell him that Jesus loves him and that not all Christians are like the ones he is threatened by. And I pray that God will show him the way back. I also pray that the Christians who attempt to punish him be shown back to the true course as well.

J: I am so glad that you are involved in these kinds of discussions -AND- a friend to those who see things completely different than you do. I have met so many people over the years who have encountered “christians” who tried to argue them away from atheism - you don’t need to be another of those christians. Despite the supposed “obvious problems” with Scripture, the WORD is 100% reliable and authoritative and it SAYS: “Love your enemy.” Do THAT and I know that many who don’t “get it” will someday find that they totally GET IT!
